Here’s a look at a recent survey conducted with 1,000 American adults that showed 65 percent saw overeating as a bigger problem in the country today than not enough food.

While the majority of those polled believed Americans eat too much rather than they don’t eat enough, 15 percent think it’s a bigger problem that Americans don’t eat enough and 20 percent are not sure.

Men and women agree that the bigger problem is Americans overeat.

Those under 40 believe it even more strongly than their elders.

Those who didn’t see hunger as a growing problem in the country were the most likely to think Americans consume too much food.
